Where are all the Minimigs?
« on: November 30, 2007, 10:24:12 PM »
Hi all. A quick look at Nusims feedback on ebay shows well over 130 bare Minimig boards sold! I've only seen 2 complete ones sold on ebay (@ £220 each). So are there 100 Minimig v1.1's out there? Is it time to start a club and website? Anyone got photos of complete and the build process? And finally - anyone want to sell one to me?!?!

I bet that 99.99% of the PCBs are still wrapped in cellophane waiting to be soldered.

I fear that over 80% will probably stay in that state for the remainder of their lives :-(

The two boards I've bought will get built when the last of the parts arrive and theres the time. Guess that'll be in January unless I'm lucky before I go on holiday but they'll get done.
Think you might be being a lil' pessimistic when you say 80%, 50% maybe.

I am no engineer. Is anyone developing a retail product? Something we could find on AMigakit?
